♦ Despite the silence I am not dead (just overworked and under-brained). So, sign of life: Amazon had a preview weekend for The Man in the High Castle (for certain countries, not including Canada where the series was filmed, cough cough). Read about it here. Also, there have been a series of posters featuring Himself... see them here.

And new good news... Rufus will be in another television series, playing Lord Melbourne, early advisor to Queen Victoria. Read about it here, here and here. Woo hoo!

♦ Ruf-fans! I'm not dead, just over-worked and running behind the train... thankfully Rufus is still filming The Man in the High Castle in Vancouver, so there is no real new news - but there are more pbotos from the set (taken around the time of the ones we have already seen).

The one piece of real news is that Amazon will screen the first two episodes of The Man in the High Castle at ComicCon in San Diego and Entertainment Weekly will live-stream the event on their website. You can read about this here.

I'll keep you posted!

♦ Hello Rufians! Closer has closed (and very wonderful it was, having had the good fortune to see it) and Rufus is now filming The Man in the High Castle in Vancouver.

You can see photos of some of the filming here. There are also a bunch of articles, a few from before the filming and one from the other day : one, two, three, four and five.

The other news (article coming soon) is that Amazon has green-lighted The Man in the High Castle so we will have a television series with Rufus! Well, in countries that allow on-demand streaming television without needing endless committee studies in order not to upset the existing monopoly (you know who you are Canada - where, ironically, this series will be filmed).

Till soon, I hope!

♦ Very quick again - the Closer reviews are coming in. Just three up here for now, more to come, Read them here : one, two and three.

♦ Very quick - the first public performance of Closer was this evening! Just to get started, a short article and rehearsal photos. Loooooooking gooooood! And undoubtedly acting even better!

More soon, I hope!

♦ Happy New Year Rufians! Something nice to start the year - you can watch the pilot of The Man in the High Castle for free on Amazon (you need an account but that is free to get, as I am sure everyone knows). This is the link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RSI6NKS/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp_xGxUub0FA2WGP. If it doesn't work you may need to experiment a bit.

And the last bit for today: National Geographic has released a behind-the-scenes video for Killing Jesus. You can read an article and see the video (with a glimpse of Rufus at minute 2.22 [thanks Nell]) here.

We have a lot of Rufus to look forward to this year!
